“Our cocker spaniel had the best time with Adriana! A lovely lady, with an easy manner, great communication and having an evident connection, empathy and love of dogs. Bertie had regular outings and walks during the day & came home a well exercised, relaxed and happy doggoe. Thankyou Adriana!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 15 years. Our family has always had pets, including a 15-year-old Fox Terrier, a French Bulldog, a cat and a parrot. I now live in London with my Chihuahua, Rocky, who is calm, friendly and loves other dogs. For the past year, I have been actively providing pet sitting services in London. Before moving to the UK, I spent over two years attending weekly dog training classes with my French Bulldog in Estonia. Those classes gave me valuable hands-on experience and a strong understanding of dog behaviour, body language and positive training methods. I know that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I always adapt my care to their individual needs. My priority is to make every dog feel safe, relaxed and at home while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I work as a freelance marketing specialist, which allows me to work remotely from home. This means I spend most of my time at home and can provide dogs with plenty of attention, companionship, regular walks and a consistent routine throughout the day. Their comfort, safety and happiness are always my priority. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, smoke-free flat with my friendly Chihuahua, Rocky. I only accept pets from one household at a time to provide a calm and low-stress environment. Every dog is introduced carefully, has constant access to fresh water, regular walks, plenty of attention and a comfortable place to rest. I always follow each owner’s feeding routine and any special instructions, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout their dog’s stay.
“Grace is an absolutely fantastic dog boarder, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. She took wonderful care of Henry, keeping us updated throughout his stay with regular photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that he was happy, relaxed and genuinely cared for. Our family dog, Teddy, has also stayed with Grace and had exactly the same experience. She treats every dog as if they're her own. Grace is warm, caring, reliable and incredibly communicative. Knowing Henry and Teddy were in such capable hands meant we could completely relax while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog and will definitely use her again.”
“Greg was great with Kita. I’m always nervous leaving her with a sitter but Greg was incredibly attentive, sent daily updates and even gave her a bath when he noticed her allergies were acting up! He also had other pups over some days so my dog got to play and have her own holiday. Overall we had a really great experience and my partner and I felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands for the week we were away. We’ll definitely use Greg again for sittings!”
“Kate was excellent. I received plenty of updates about Rolo, with pictures and videos. I feel he was really cared for and he seemed very happy at the end of his stay. Would definitely book again”
“Begona is the most incredible dog sitter. My dog was very well looked after, clearly very happy and I received lots of regular photos and updates. She will be the first person I ask if I need a dog sitter again in the future.”
“Beccy was absolutely wonderful with my Coco! She was attentive, caring, and great with communication throughout. It was clear from the start that she has a genuine love for animals and truly cares about their wellbeing. She was incredibly patient with Coco and her knowledgeable about dogs is also great, which gave me complete peace of mind. I would 1000% recommend her and would definitely book her again! ❤️”
“Claudette was super flexible and helpful for the day of sitting I booked for Bear. Lots of changes and shuffling about and she was calm and helpful throughout the whole thing. A lovely person to deal with and Bear came back happy and exhausted, perfect!”
“Our little Arlo had the most amazing time with Pratik, Shresh, and their doggy coco, he came back so happy and a well behaved puppy,highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again.”
“Had a great experience with Katie looking after Nigel for a few nights, she would give regular updates/pics to put any worries at ease and took particular care in making sure normal routines were followed and any special requests. Will definitely look to use again in future and would recommend.”
“Elmo clearly had a lovely time staying with Marina! I am extremely grateful as I always worry about leaving him with some one new but Marina immediately put us both at ease with her calm friendly care. Elmo had lots of walks and came home very happy. Huge thank you to Marina!! :-)”
About: My name is Katy, your friendly North London dog lover! I’ve owned a dog and dog sitted for over 10 years in both the UK and NZ. I’m passionate about giving your fury pals a safe and engaging environment, and I treat every dog as if it were my own. My home is fully dog safe, I’m extremely diligent and aware of toxins or any unsafe doggy foods. I’m proficient at administering medicine and I’m very happy to follow any of your training needs or commands. I’d love to know a wee bit about your pup, their likes and dislikes, any allergies and their favourite park! I work part time 100% from home. I have minimal meetings, and easy access to a fully fenced garden. I’ll typically take dogs on one good walk, plus a couple of wee walks - depending on the length of stay. My garden is fully fenced and my home is fully dog safe, including baby gates to keep them safe. I have a dog crate I can use if needed.
“Caroline is very responsive and kind. Ducky looks so happy in all the pictures. She gives regular updates and check in with the you every time. Can’t recommend her enough, a big big thank you ❤️”
About: My latest achievement was to train my rescue dog from an almost ferral state that he was in to a loving pet and pretty well behaved dog however still lots to learn on his part. I had walked my neighbours dogs since I can remember and finally at the age of 12 my dream come true. I have owned 5 dogs so far in my life. I love to provide what they need whether it's cuddles and slow walks or running chasing balls. Stimulation, exercise fun or simply just rest. I had aquire a lot of knowledge through my own experiences but also through reading related literature on dogs behaviour and psychology. I'm a special needs teacher. I'm free in half terms and weekends. Im a keen runner and love cycling as well as providing enrichment games. I believe that each dog is an individual. I like to get to know them in order to provide a caring, stimulating and safe environment for them.
“Hi Zsanett looked after my french bulldog for 2 nights 3 days during the heatwave I left her a copy of what his daily routine was during this time which she fully took on board. She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times My french bulldog came back happy well looked after and reasonably tired Thank you Zsanett”

Duke had such a lovely weekend with Beccy and was so well looked after. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and capable hands, and it was obvious when he returned that he’d had a brilliant time. She sent me photos and videos throughout the weekend so I knew they were having a great time He was treated like one of the family, had plenty of attention and came home happy and relaxed. I’d absolutely recommend Beccy to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their dog, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Duke with her again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of him.
Evelyn regularly updated us with how my dog was each day, sending photos and videos. My dog was obviously very happy enjoying lots of walks and cuddles. We are very grateful to Evelyn and her family For taking care of our dog so brilliantly and would recommend her to all.
Adriana was amazing from the start, she immediately showed a real sense of love and affection for Teddy and made us feel totally at ease. She provided photos and videos throughout his stay and our dog had a great time with Adriana. A really lovely lady and we will 100% be taking Teddy back to her when he next needs somewhere to stay. Thank you again Adriana.
We couldn’t recommend Katie more highly - she was amazing. It was our first time leaving our puppy Bonnie for a longer period of time so we were nervous but Katie put those nerves at ease from the very start. She sent beautiful pupdates daily, so we always felt like we knew what Bonnie was up to, how she was behaving and what a fun time she was having. We felt Katie really listened to our care instructions and followed Bonnie’s typical routine. The best thing about the stay was that Bonnie had opportunities to socialise with other dogs Katie was caring for (no more than one or two at a time) and Katie always communicated what other dogs Bonnie would be around. We’d definitely leave Bonnie with Katie for future stays!
I couldn’t recommend Juliana highly enough! She took such amazing care of Bruno, and he felt completely comfortable with her from the very beginning. Juliana kept me regularly updated, and it was clear that Bruno was having a wonderful time and so much fun. He even started eating properly again, which was such a relief! I am incredibly grateful to Juliana and her family for welcoming Bruno into their lovely home and treating him like one of their own. It meant so much to have complete peace of mind knowing that he was happy, safe and so well cared for. Thank you so much Juliana! ❤️❤️❤️
Craig is just brilliant with Boycie. Incredibly knowledgable dog owner who has gone out of his way with advice, support and training whenever we have asked. He made sure he knew boycies routine and likes and dislikes and Boycie absolutely loves Craig’s dog Bailey, who is a model student! Craig sends loads of (very good) pictures and updates so your mind is totally at rest & Boycie had a brilliant time. We’ll use Craig again whenever we are away and would highly recommend him for your pup. Thank you xx
Hannah took great care of my dog Korina. She is an anxious rescue who can be shy and nervous of new people but Hannah is clearly very experienced and patient and Korina seemed to warm to her very quickly. I felt confident that Korina was in safe and responsible hands and would definitely ask Hannah to dogsit again.
This is the second time we left our dog with Wen and we couldn't be happier. Our dog is anxious and he doesn't trust people easily but he seems to be so happy and relaxed around her! Wen managed to win him over very quickly and he loves her. She has been very communicative, sending us detailed updates and pictures the whole time we've been away. She is very caring and patient and clearly a true dog lover! She's shown extreme understanding even when our dog was being difficult and we are very grateful. We're so lucky to have found such a reliable local dog sitter and we highly recommend Wen!
Marina looked after our dog Hugo for a week while we were away, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Communication throughout the week was excellent, kept us updated regularly with messages and photos which gave us real peace of mind while we were on holiday. It was lovely to see Hugo having such a great time playing and socialising with the other dogs. When we collected him, he looked happy, relaxed and very well cared for It was clear that he had been in safe ana loving hands We would highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you so much.
Benjamin and Arabella took such excellent care of my dog. He came back happy and well rested. I appreciated the fact that Benjamin and Arabella sent updates and photos and took him for long walks and bathed him afterwards. I know he was in such good hands as they cared for him like he was part of their family. Thank you so much Benjamin and Arabella!
We left our labrador with Kate for two weeks and were understandably a bit anxious about being apart for so long. She's quite an anxious dog and doesn't always adapt quickly to new situations, so we knew it might take her a while to settle into a new routine. Kate sent regular photos and updates, and it was lovely to see her gradually relax, gain confidence, and start enjoying the company of the other dogs. Of course, she can't tell us how it went, but she seemed happy, relaxed, and completely herself when we picked her up and in the days after. We'd happily book Kate again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.

When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 15,922 sitters in Barnet, 58% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
